“I am devastated to let everyone know that my beautiful daughter was so distraught she could not bear to live without her beloved Jase and chose to take her own life,” the Facebook post read.

“My husband and I now grieve for the loss of two wonderful people that brought light to everyone’s life."

A GoFundMe page raised more than $44,000 to help their families with costs associated with sending the couple's bodies back to the UK. CRUFC president Sam Diamond thanked donors for their "incredible generosity".

"This campaign has been a huge success and as such means we will be able to help both families with any costs incurred with repatriating the bodies of Jason and Alice," he said.

"The fund will be withdrawn to the Cottesloe Rugby savings account where it will be used to pay any bills accumulated while both bodies are in Perth.

"Any additional funds left after all the repatriation costs have been covered will be transferred to the families in the UK."
